My name is Ava Rae!

Ava Rae was found as a stray running down the streets of Atlanta and picked up by a Good Samaritan. Her true dachshund tell is that she absolutely loves to cuddle under a blanket or in your lap. She also loves to spend time as a toy stuffing removal specialist combined with yak bone chewer. This sweet girl enjoys running and playing outside in the back yard. She’s quick and could be a contender at a dachshund race! She has culinary prowess Ava Rae does well on the leash, loves to go for walks, and is not much of a barker. She made quick friends with a cat in her foster home. Ava Rae gets along well with the kitty as well as her foster dog sibling. She would do well in an home with another dog friend. And best of all, she has not had even one accident in the house!!! Her foster mama said she’s the easy foster she’s ever had!


If you are interested in adopting Ava Rae, you can fill out an application right on our website! Go to our online adoption application. Ava Rae's adoption fee is $600.

All adoption fees go directly to veterinary care for DREAM dachshunds. Ava Rae will go to his / her new home microchipped, spayed/neutered, heartworm tested, up to date on vaccinations, and with all other medical needs addressed.

Almost every dog's veterinary expenses exceed our adoption fees; we are a non-profit.

DREAM is an all-volunteer rescue group. We focus on the metro Atlanta area and can assist throughout the state of Georgia.

Since our rescue is entirely run and staffed by volunteers, our ability to travel long distances for adoptions is somewhat limited. We focus on Georgia, but if you are in a neighboring state, we might be able to work something out - we'll expect you to do your part.

DREAM does not recommend purebred dachshunds for families with children under 5, or families planning to have children during the dog's lifetime. Dachshunds are often not patient with little kids, and kids can accidentally hurt a doxie's back.
